The Caucus Race,1998/2015

Alice in Wonderland

Extracted from a large installation, this single-monitor work takes the chapter titled
“The Caucus Race” from Alice in Wonderland as its subject. A speech by the Dodo to a group
of animals is quoted in full. All the animals run a race, all win, and all receive prizes,
which are awarded by Alice herself. Once again I quote one of the books that most inspires
me as an artist.
